Very kool. A while back I was given an old Silvertone that had hung outdoors in a hay barn for 10 years or more. It was in such bad shape. Splits, cracks, loose braces, huge dings, and in my opinion it would have taken so much time to restore or at least get back to playable that it made it too much. So I trashed it. My Mom had one when I was young and I learned to play on it. Now especially after seeing your pictures I really regret tossing it but I still know it wasnt practical to repair. Thanks for sharing your photos. I will follow you and hope for more good posts like this one.
